Francine & Lionel are amazing!! I recommend them to everyone I know because they did such a phenomenal job at our wedding and during our engagement shoot. They're increibly friendly and made us feel totally comfortable. We had some out of the box ideas for our engagement photos and they loved it and completely ran with it and made it turn out even better than we could've imagined. I also had a lot of pictures that I wanted to reenact for the wedding and they were super receptive to every single one and got all of the shots we wanted. We also really liked that they worked as a team and gave us as much time as we needed. I could go on and on and on about how wonderful Francine & Lionel are, but my point is…HIRE THEM!! I promise that you will love them too : ) ~ Christina Grove.
Francine and Lionel were amazing! We had them for our wedding in June of 2015 and they were so accommodating! There were a great couple who were very easy to get along with and ran with some ideas of photos we had. They had great ideas for photos! Our wedding part loved them! We couldn't have picked a better couple to be our wedding photographers! I give them an A++! ~ Ashlee Dolak.
Francine & Lionel were top notch. By far, the best! They made sure that we got all the photos, all the angles, and got everything we wanted. The quality; their attention to detail; their persistence on getting the right shot – that's the difference between good photographers and great ones. They are by far, great! They went the extra mile each time, and captured the essence of the bridal party and the guests. They captured the beautiful parts of the wedding as well as people candidly enjoying themselves. Their ideas are amazing – they make sure that everything runs timely, and make sure to capture that special image, even having to climb on a post! Thank you, Francine & Lionel – you made our wedding extra special. ~ Anthony Atala.
Francine and Lionel are just AMAZING. It was the best decision my husband and I made in hiring them, it is worth every penny. They are so professional, creative, dedicated and just spot-on incredible. They were super prompt, gave me directions, made us laugh and even made my guests feel great. As we left the church on our convertible getaway car, Francine and Lionel were driving by us taking shots… she even got shots thought the sunroof! Just incredible, they are so perfectionist and also have a portfolio that speaks on its own. Counting the days to see the photos!!!!!! Totally recommend them, you don't need them you will want to have them! It was a perfect day and they made it beyond spectacular. ~ Ideneth Renta.
When it came to my wedding, I wanted to find a great photographer, and was willing to splurge in this area because I wanted to have beautiful pictures to look back on for the rest of my life. When I saw Francine and Lionel's website, I knew that they would be the perfect photographers for our wedding. They are extremely talented and a bonus is that you get two different perspectives of every moment throughout the day. If you're looking for a cheap, bargain bin photographer, they are not for you. They do cost a little more than some other photographers I've seen, but this is clearly for a reason. They are highly skilled at what they do, and you get what you pay for. I knew from the moment they arrived on the big day that I didn't have to worry about the quality of their work, which allowed me to enjoy myself and have confidence that they were capturing all the important moments. They are also just all around nice people and we had a great time with them. My husband and I couldn't be happier about our choice to hire Francine and Lionel. Their services are the best investment we could have made! ~ Caitlin Williams.
Francine & Lionel photography are amazing photographers! They took our engagement photos and wedding photos and everything came out perfect. They are so friendly and accommodating and do a great job capturing all the moments and details! ~ Ariana Durkin.

The Trade Council at the Embassy of Denmark in Hungary is part of the regional cooperation between the embassies in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece, Croatia, Albania and Hungary. The collaboration creates a great opportunity for Danish companies to gain in-depth market knowledge and receive support to enter to the Central and Eastern European region, while ensuring satisfactory service in the individual, country specific aspects, as well as in the overall market. The Trade Councils of the region strive to provide excellent service to Danish companies wishing to export or set up business in the above countries. Since the establishment of the Trade Council in Budapest, we have helped many Danish businesses to start production in Hungary or find Hungarian partners for export or supply.
Over the past years more and more Danish companies have started to realize the enormous potential of the Hungarian market. On a daily basis we receive requests from Danish companies interested in starting up export activities or even establishing a local subsidiary. What all of these have in common is that they need the assistance of a local agent or distributor to get market access. In case you would like to learn more about the export and production opportunities in Hungary, we invite you to contact the Trade Council.
At the Trade Council we are therefore in a constant search of local Hungarian companies that suit the product portfolio of the Danish companies. If your company is interested in taking on an agent role for a Danish company or acting as a dealer/distributor, we strongly encourage to contact the Trade Council of the Embassy.

We particularly wanted to work in the vintage details to heighten the authenticity and the warm atmosphere; such as the decorative floor tiles, original lighting, the golden aged patina on the mirrors, the ornate wooden door frames and handles, the use of glass as a decorative feature and a means to introduce light and space.

On January 21, 2013 the members of Euroclub "Promin Europy" of Novyi Rozdil School 4 watched some videos about Martin Luther King, listened to his speech "I Have a Dream".
The holiday of the commemoration of Martin Luther King is observed in the United States of America on the third Monday of January each year, near the time of King's birthday. He fought for racial equality and civil rights. In 1964, King became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize; he was awarded at least fifty honorary degrees from colleges and universities.
Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his famous "I have a dream" speech, calling for all people to be treated equally, regardless of the color of their skin. "I Have a Dream" is a 17-minute public speech by Martin Luther King, delivered on August 28, 1963, in which he called for an end to racism in the US.
The students discussed the issue about supporting the human rights of all people, wherever they may live.

The Voluntary System of Accountability (VSA) is an initiative by public 4-year universities to supply clear, accessible,and comparable information on the undergraduate student experience to important constituencies through a common web report – the College Portrait.
The VSA was developed in 2007 by a committed group of university leaders and is sponsored by two higher education associations - the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) and the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU). Development and start-up funding was provided by the Lumina Foundation. Beginning in 2010, the VSA is supported by the participating institutions through annual dues.
To go to North Carolina Central's University's College Portrait click here. NCCU College Portrait.
VSA Background and Development:
Over 80 higher education leaders from 70 public colleges and universities contributed to the development of the VSA program and data reporting template during 2007.
The initial development and implementation of the VSA was funded by two grants from the Lumina Foundation as well as in kind contributions by participating institutions.
The concept of the VSA was first outlined in a 2006 discussion paper shared broadly among the members of NASULGC (now APLU) and AASCU. The paper and its two subsequent updates formed the basis for discussions among education officials, policy-makers, and academic leaders and ultimately the creation of the VSA.

"All I want to do is give to, and bless those around me. To give back to those who have helped me... that right there is the greatest gift of all."
What started off as merely an expression of frustration-has turned into a blossoming career for 23 year old Tarik Trotter. Plagued by poverty and a lack of opportunity, Tarik's self-expectation to transcend his poor upbringing motivates the young rapper.
Born in East New York, Tarik Trotter, who goes by his stage name "Tarik", has been surrounded by poverty his entire life. Facing eviction time and time again, Tarik has found himself moving in and out of various apartments in Brooklyn, Manhattan, The Bronx and Queens. Though he has found himself in Shelter Homes, and even homeless, Tarik keeps a positive attitude. It is his mission in life to remove his family from their current circumstance, and to give back to the places he came from. Originally, getting an education was his ticket to doing so.
Tarik began writing music at age 20. It was December of 2009 and Tarik was in between semesters of his sophomore year at St. Thomas Aquinas College. When his parents denied co-signing a second loan for him, the realization that he would have to drop out of college began to sink in. He sat alone in his dorm room, with the realization that he would not be able to aid his family with a college degree, and began to write about his circumstance. He wrote covers of well-known songs by Drake, Clipse, and others. Since he couldn't afford recording costs, he recorded songs in a friend's bedroom, with pillows on the walls to deflect sound.
Since his rocky start, Tarik's honest and transparent writing has paid off. His initial mixtape "T.R.I.G.S." (The Reason I Get Signed) has amassed over 25,000 downloads, and his lead single "Weatherman" has recently garnered over 300,000 YouTube views. He has opened for several prominent acts such as Fabolous, Ice Cube, French Montana, Curren$y, Chris Webby, and many others. He has performed at notable venues such as Irving Plaza and Bowery Ballroom in New York City, Toads Place in Connecticut and The Electric Factory in Philadelphia.
Tarik's second mixtape, "Here To Stay" is set to release at the end of the summer. With an eclectic mix of songs, it is a collection of his best work to date. From an introspective view of his current struggles, to projecting his fantasy of one day being able to support his family, to his self-confidence in his own ability as a rapper, Tarik shows throughout the tape that he is not limited in the type of music he can make. Keep an eye-out for the young New York City MC, only time will tell if he can live up to his own expectations for himself.
"At the end of the day, more than anything, what matters to me, is that people are listening and that people can relate to what I'm saying."

Whether a farmer, farming enthusiast or agricultural resource provider, dozens descended on the Vacaville branch of Solano Community College earlier this week for the inaugural Agri-Business Expo.
Filled with all manner of ag-related educators, financiers, experts and the like, the first-ever expo appeared a rousing success as attendees packed the small venue from start to finish.
"I'm really happy with the turnout," said Michelle Stephens, who serves as the Yolo/Solano farmbudsman. "We just want to be a resource to the ag community."
The event, put on by SCC, the Small Business Development Center and Stephens, truly showed the community's dedication to agriculture, Stephens said, adding that an email was almost all it took to get people together.
There were representatives from all manner of agriculture-related agencies with information on various funding streams, regulatory processes and more along with panel discussions regarding product marketing, the business-end of farming, and more.
A farmer himself, Michael Martin, president of SCC's governing board, gave his thoughts on the state of the industry.
A walnut farmer of 15 years in Winters, Martin describes himself as a small businessman with a stake in improving the farming business.
He talked of future labor shortages and impacts yet unknown due to the longstanding drought and falling commodity prices. Big farming enterprises also present challenges to the little guys, he continued, but said there's ways around that.
"As a small farmer, I think there's a place for us," he said. "We keep everyone honest."
SCC, he advised, is revamping related curriculum and is fully committed to ensuring those interested in ag will be well-prepared for the field upon graduation.
In Vacaville, he added, officials are almost ready to break ground on a building focused on biotechnology.
The program as a whole, he added, can be seen as a future labor pool.
"We want Solano College to be a resource for the ag community," Martin said. "We are committed to the ag community. I'm committed to the ag community."
Dr. Celia Esposito-Noy, the college's superintendent-president, talked of exciting programs and a dynamic faculty.
The college, she said, is working on developing agriculture-specific courses that will aid students in transferring to other colleges.
Jim Allan, Solano County's agricultural commissioner, spoke of all the factors that make Solano agriculturally unique. For example, an abundance of space on which to farm, crop diversity of counties 10 times larger, agricultural support, regulatory support and access to transportation.
"We can grow anything," he said. "Growing is not the impediment. Creativity is the only barrier."

Legal Status
Document Details
Published Document
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act") [1] and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,[2] notice is hereby given that on February 17, 2011, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated ("CBOE" or the "Exchange") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of the Substance of the Proposed Rule Change
This proposal submitted by Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated ("CBOE" or "Exchange") is to codify a fee schedule for the sale by Market Data Express, LLC ("MDX"), an affiliate of CBOE, of a data product that includes CBOE best bid and offer and trade data and certain related market data. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.org/legal), at the Exchange's Office of the Secretary and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
In its filing with the Commission, CBOE included statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. CBOE has prepared summaries, set forth in sections (A), (B), and (C) below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
The purpose of the proposed rule change is to establish fees that MDX will charge for the sale of certain market data with respect to the trading of options on CBOE's market.
CBOE currently collects and processes market data with respect to options quotes and orders and the prices of trades that are executed on the Exchange. This market data includes the "best bid and offer," or "BBO", consisting of all outstanding quotes and standing orders at the best available price level on each side of the market, with aggregate size ("BBO data," sometimes referred to as "top of book data"). Data with respect to executed trades is referred to as "last sale" data. CBOE formats its BBO data and last sale data according to Options Price Reporting Authority ("OPRA") specifications and sends the data to OPRA for redistribution to the public.
MDX provides to "Customers" [3] a real-time, low latency data feed that includes the CBOE BBO data and last sale data. (This data feed is sometimes referred to in this filing as the "BBO Data Feed"). The BBO and last sale data contained in the BBO Data Feed is identical to the data that CBOE sends to OPRA.[4] In addition, the BBO Data Feed includes certain data that is not included in the data sent to OPRA, namely, totals of customer versus non-customer contracts at the BBO, All-or-None contingency orders priced better than or equal to the BBO, and BBO data and last sale data for complex strategies (e.g., spreads, straddles, buy-writes, etc.). The purpose of this proposed rule change is to establish the fees MDX will charge for the sale of the BBO Data Feed.
MDX would charge Customers a "direct connect fee" of $3,500 per connection per month. MDX would also charge Customers a "per user fee" of $25 per month per "Authorized User" or "Device" for receipt of the BBO Data Feed by Subscribers. An "Authorized User" is defined as an individual user (an individual human being) who is uniquely identified (by user ID and confidential password or other unambiguous method reasonably acceptable to MDX) and authorized by a Customer to access the BBO Data Feed supplied by the Customer. A "Device" is defined as any computer, workstation or other item of equipment, fixed or portable, that receives, accesses and/or displays data in visual, audible or other form. Either a CBOE Trading Permit Holder or a non-CBOE Trading Permit Holder may be a Customer. All Customers would be assessed the same fees.
The proposed fees would be implemented on March 1, 2011.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Act") [5] in general, and, in particular, with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act [6] in that it provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among CBOE Trading Permit Start Printed Page 12389Holders and other persons using its facilities, and with Section 6(b)(5) [7] of the Act in that there will be no unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers in the distribution of the data. In addition, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of Section 6(b)(8) [8] of the Act in that it does not impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The fees charged would be the same for all market participants, and therefore do not unreasonably discriminate among market participants.
The Exchange believes that the proposed market data fees are consistent with the requirements of the Act for several reasons. First, they compare favorably to fees that other markets charge for similar products. The proposed direct connect fee of $3,500 per connection per month and per user fee of $25 per month compares favorably to the fees NASDAQ OMX PHLX and ISE charge for similar market data products. NASDAQ OMX PHLX charges Internal Distributors a monthly fee of $4,000 per organization, External Distributors a monthly fee of $5,000 per organization and monthly subscriber fees of $20 per Professional Subscriber and $1 per Non-Professional Subscriber for its "TOPO Plus Orders" data feed, which like the BBO Data Feed includes top-of-book data (including orders, quotes and trades) and other market data.[9] ISE charges distributors of its ISE Depth of Market Feed a monthly fee of $5,000 plus $50 per month per controlled device for Professionals and $5 per month per controlled device for Non-Professionals.[10]
The Exchange also believes that the proposed fees for the BBO Data Feed are consistent with the requirements of the Act because competition provides an effective constraint on the market data fees that the Exchange, through MDX, has the ability and the incentive to charge. CBOE has a compelling need to attract order flow from market participants in order to maintain its share of trading volume. This compelling need to attract order flow imposes significant pressure on CBOE to act reasonably in setting its fees for market data, particularly given that the market participants that will pay such fees often will be the same market participants from whom CBOE must attract order flow. These market participants include broker-dealers that control the handling of a large volume of customer and proprietary order flow. Given the portability of order flow from one exchange to another, any exchange that sought to charge unreasonably high data fees would risk alienating many of the same customers on whose orders it depends for competitive survival. CBOE currently competes with eight options exchanges (including CBOE's affiliate, C2 Options Exchange) for order flow.[11]
CBOE is constrained in pricing the BBO Data Feed by the availability to market participants of alternatives to purchasing the BBO Data Feed. CBOE must consider the extent to which market participants would choose one or more alternatives instead of purchasing the exchange's data. For example, the BBO data and last sale data available in the BBO Data Feed are included in the OPRA data feed. The OPRA data is widely distributed and relatively inexpensive, thus constraining CBOE's ability to price the BBO Data Feed. In this respect, the OPRA data feed, which includes the exchange's transaction information, is a significant alternative to the BBO Data Feed product.
Further, other options exchanges can and have produced their own top-of-book products, and thus are sources of potential competition for MDX. As noted above, NASDAQ OMX PHLX and ISE offer market data products that compete with the BBO Data Feed. In addition, the Exchange believes other options exchanges may currently offer top-of-book market data products for a fee or for free.
For the reasons cited above, the Exchange believes that the BBO Data Feed offering, including the proposed fees, is equitable, fair, reasonable and not unreasonably discriminatory. In addition, the Exchange believes that no substantial countervailing basis exists to support a finding that the proposed terms and fees for the BBO Data Feed fail to meet the requirements of the Act.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
CBOE does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of purposes of the Act. The Exchange believes that the BBO Data Feed offered by MDX will help attract new users and new order flow to the Exchange, thereby improving the Exchange's ability to compete in the market for options order flow and executions.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others
No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the proposed rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action
The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act [12] and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4 [13] thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
IV. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods:
Electronic Comments
- Use the Commission's Internet comment form (http://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml); or

SEDRESProject ID: FP4_20496
Finanziato nell'ambito di:
Systems engineering data representation and exchange standardisation
Dettagli del progetto
Costo totale:EUR 5 870 550
Contributo UE:EUR 3 100 000
Coordinato in:Italy
Argomento (i):1.3 - Software Intensive Systems Engineering
Meccanismo di finanziamento:EST - Marie Curie actions-Early-stage Training
This project is directed at the development of an interface standard which will allow the complete set of tools in design of aeroplanes and spacecraft and their avionics systems (hardware, software, mechanical design, and implementation, project management, etc.) to communicate in such a way that an integrated project support environment is available from commercial tools.
The interface standard will be possibly based on the STEP interface used in CAD applications, but will be extended to add the semantics appropriate to the aircraft industry.
This project will develop and demonstrate an "open" design information environment for the active components (e.g. electronics, hydraulics, computing) of complex integrated products. The resulting standards and environment will increase the efficiency of industrial collaboration in design and product support, and will complement the strong focus on geometry and structure definition which characterise other research projects, such as those under the AIT initiative.
A significant part of all complex, integrated products (such as aircraft, vehicles, transport systems and even buildings) is systems. In an aerospace context, aircraft systems comprise: avionics systems (such as mission, communications, navigation, human/systems interface) and airframe systems (such as crew/passenger escape, power generation/distribution, environment control, fuel management). A "system" in this project is defined as a set of predominantly active components, many of which are electronic components like embedded computers, sensors, displays and actuators, that are interconnected via dedicated direct links or by communications busses. In typical contemporary systems, there are tens or hundreds of interacting components, resulting in an enormous degree of complexity.
An increasing number of design tools are used, covering all aspects of such systems, which leads to increased information duplication, inconsistencies, checking and correction, as well as little consistency to the configuration management approach. Since the design information captured within the tools is in a proprietary format, this leads to an increasing dependency on tool vendors and the tools acting as a barrier to co-operative working.
This project will define requirements for, develop and demonstrate both:
1. data exchange and storage standards and
2. an example of a comprehensive systems design environment based on commercially available tools, that will address and solve these issues.
Exchange standards will provide candidate PDES/STEP Application Protocols for the systems elements of product definition (behaviour, timing, non-functional properties...). The project work will be done against the background of the deficiencies of current Systems Development frameworks (for instance, DoD 2167A, 499B, EIA IS 632, IEEE P1220, etc.), and will therefore have to establish a basic Concurrent Engineering Concept, a union of process, development environment, tools and engineering techniques against which the key objectives of the project are achieved.
The exploitation will aim to improve quality and reduce cost and time scales for systems development; the exploitation process will firstly apply the results internally to current product developments, secondly, spread the results to external organisations, such as our partner companies on large projects and thirdly, the companies will follow an active policy of dissemination of the public results of the project, for instance, in promoting ISO/STEP standards, in encouraging tool suppliers in providing STEP-compliant interfaces, and in promoting education of data exchange to support concurrent engineering.

Manual Wheelchairs are propelled by the user and require significant upper body strength. There are many kinds of manual wheelchairs available in the market today, including Ultra lightweight chairs, tilting wheelchairs, standing wheelchairs, heavy-duty wheelchairs, children's wheelchairs and specialty chairs. Manual Wheelchairs are quite easy to push, have unlimited range, are simpler to maneuver and transport, and usually cost much less than power wheelchairs.
Manual Wheelchairs should be purchased keeping in mind your physical ability, lifestyle and personal preferences, as well as factors such as the amount and type of terrain you will cover, whether you need to transport the chair in your car, and what your home and workplace are like.
Before you purchase any manual wheelchair, keep in mind to consult an Occupational or Physical Therapist. You can ask for suggestions on the type of manual wheelchair or particular features that can make it easier for you to carry out daily activities – at work or at home.
Ultra Lightweight Wheelchairs weight as low as 14 pounds and are available in both rigid and folding models, an ultralight weight wheelchair is suitable for the full-time users who want their wheelchairs to perform well and for those who want the lightest chair possible for ease of use and transport. The ultralight wheelchairs frames can be made either from Aluminum or Titanium. Ultra Lightweight Wheelchairs can further be classified into Rigid Frame Ultralight Wheelchairs and Folding Frame Ultralight Wheelchairs.
Rigid Ultralight Manual Wheelchairs are made of a rigid square frame and are sturdier in comparison to foldable wheelchairs. Even though the main frame is not foldable, the backrest may fold down for easy transport or storage. Self-propelling and active individuals usually opt for the rigid frame variety because of its strength and durability.
Folding Ultralight Manual Wheelchairs can be folded when not in use, as well as for storage and transport purposes. It is currently the most popular kind of manual wheelchair in the market. The rear wheels are usually large, while the front wheels are visibly smaller. This design is intended for self-propulsion. The foldable feature is designed for the comfort of the caregiver or attendant.
Tilting wheelchairs tilt dynamically allowing for frequent changes in position which greatly reduce the chances of getting pressure sores. Tilting Wheelchairs are the best choice for people who are not able to sit upright without some mechanical aid. Tilt-in-Space Wheelchairs are generally rigid frame wheelchairs which are heavier than regular wheelchairs which make them a bit difficult to lift or propel. Tilt wheelchairs can have full or desk length arms and they can be height adjustable or fixed height. Both regular footrests and elevating legrests are available with this style of wheelchair. The rear wheels are mostly available in the range of 20" – 26" while the front casters are mostly available in the 6" or 8".
Whether it is at school, at play or anywhere else, a pediatric wheelchair can help a child to move freely. The pediatric wheelchairs of today have unmatched sophistication that provides freedom of movement to children that was once not possible. A good pediatric wheelchair can give the child a number of positions to choose from that include sitting and standing as well as laying down. An important thing to be kept in mind while choosing a Pediatric Wheelchair is that fits all the special needs of the child. A pediatric wheelchair takes account of mobility, independence, physical abilities as well as skills related to the child's functioning and therefore choosing the best model is vital for the child's physical development.
Heavy-Duty or bariatric wheelchairs are designed specifically for patients weighing more than 400 lbs. hence the wheelchair model needs to have the capacity to provide maximum support. The width and depth of a bariatric wheelchair should have 1 to 2 inches of open space on both sides of the occupant's body allowing room for winter clothes, movement during patient transfers, pressure relief methods etc. The wheelchair should also have proper back height which promotes shoulder mobility while decreasing potential backaches. Next, you can consider adding features and accessories like custom wheelchair cushion which is chosen separately and can be added to the chair after the purchase to make it extremely comfortable.
Standing Wheelchairs give the occupant the capability to stand on his/her own, lie flat, tilt in space, sit, lift, recline and relax. Stand-up Wheelchairs are specifically designed for people with paraplegia/quadriplegia, advanced multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy and polio. Standing at regular intervals has many advantages like promoting urinary drainage, improved circulation, reduction in skin breakdown, prevention of contractures etc. Most important dimensions are the total height, upper leg length, lower leg length and seat width. All the body measurements should be taken by a qualified specialist.
Power Add-on Systems assist the movement of an occupied manual wheelchair. The units provide assisted pushing power for a caretaker. Some types of Power Add-on Systems can also be configured to give the occupant control of the wheelchair. Many different power Add-on systems are available to achieve specific tasks. Some Systems like Alber Viamobil provide electronic pushing and braking device for manual wheelchairs with handlebar control to assist attendants. While other systems like Alber E-fix can be used to convert manual wheelchair to powered user propelled wheelchair. Other systems like Alber E-motion can be used as a torque multiplier to reduce the effort required to propel the wheelchair.
Wheelchair Tandems combine the latest in cycle technology with advanced wheelchair design. Wheelchair Bicycle Tandems provide recreational opportunity no other adaptive product. Wheelchair Tandems are colorfully designed to appeal to young occupants and due to the go-anywhere ruggedness, let the child enjoy the great outdoors like never before.
Wheelchair Seating Systems are developed to accommodate the occupant's growth as well as their changing functional seating needs. Custom Wheelchair Seating Systems are generally available for frame widths from 10" to 16" and seat depths from 8" to 20" providing enough room to grow. Wheelchair Seating Systems offer comprehensive, tailored seating solutions for the client who requires reliable custom configured seating and is a must-have for tissue breakdown patients.
If you're still not satisfied with the suggestions you have gathered, you can call our wheelchair experts at (845) 569-1250 or visit us at www.medicaleshop.com, or just visit one of our local retail showrooms to inquire about the types, attributes, and prices of various wheelchair models.

Vikram Bhatt Reveals About his Affairs with Sushmita Sen and Amisha Patel
Vikram Bhatt recently confessed more about his alleged affairs with Bollywood actors Ameesha Patel and Sushmita Sen. The director spoke about his personal life like never before and revealed that he feels more like a collection of wrecks, and it was not any single relationship that ruined him. Vikram Bhatt worked with Sushmita Sen when he wrote Dastak, which was directed by Mahesh Bhatt. He also directed a film called Ankahee, which is apparently based on Sushmita Sen, and stars Ameesha Patel. The director was known to have had an affair with both of them, but it was apparently his relationship with Sushmita Sen that broke his marriage with childhood sweetheart Aditi.
Vikram's relationship with Sushmita Sen was one of the most talked about affair in Bollywood. In fact, it was also being said that his closeness with Sushmita led to his divorce and a devasted Vikram even tried to commit suicide by jumping from the balcony of his house on the sixth floor. When asked about it, Vikram said, "That was not because of Sushmita. That was because of what I'd done to my life."
"That was not because of Sushmita. That was because of what I'd done to my life. I had gotten divorced, my film Ghulam was yet to be released, I was only Sushmita Sen's boyfriend, I was depressed, I missed my daughter like crazy…I had just made a mess of my life," says Vikram. "I don't think any one relationship in my life has wrecked me. I think I am a collection of wrecks."
After Bhatt broke up with Sushmita, he came into a relationship with actress Ameesha Patel, but sadly that also didn't work out for the two of them. Recently, Vikram also released a novel, titled A Handful of Sunshine, which is said to be partially based on the incidents of his own life.
When they meet again years later, they decide to dump their respective significant others and try another chance at happiness. "It's not autobiographical; it's sourced from real life, inspired by real life," clarifies Vikram. However, he does make it clear that there's no mention of his high profile relationships with Sushmita or Ameesha Patel here. In fact, he denounces his time with them completely. "There's nothing about Sushmita or Ameesha in this book. While they may have been my most-known relationships, I think they were the shallow ones."
Bhatt, however, does talk about his regret of cheating on his wife, Aditi, and abandoning her and his daughter. "I regret the pain I caused them. I always believe that when you're not courageous, you become cunning. I did not have the courage to tell Aditi how I felt. And it was all happening together, it was a big mess. I regret being weak at that time. Had I not been weak, things would have been different today. But when I look back in hindsight, it's all about growing up, and everything teaches you something at least." Bhatt has now made amends with his wife and works with his daughter in his production house.

Locksmiths in Bittern offer a highly demanded service, which generally relates to maintaining and installing the various types of lock systems, from the standard key locks to the complex electronic or biometric locks. The most common types of locksmith professions consist of the emergency, industrial, commercial, and residential, which each of the specific fields requiring different skills and abilities.
Residential work is likely to be the most common of the services provided by a residential locksmith. A domestic property owner looks at personal security and safety as a key reason when it comes to making sure a home is fully secured against a would-be intruder. A locksmith has gained the experience and knowledge to suggest the most effective locks for a properties doors and windows. Beyond the ability to install new locking systems, the locksmith is also able to repair or replace the locks on the older styled properties. Extra services offered by a local locksmiths offer security advice, a key cutting service, installing locks on a garage or similar outbuilding, and installing at-home safes or vaults.
How Do I Choose A Residential Locksmith in Bittern?
Have you ever noticed how many keys the average person has on him at any given moment? Most people are known to carry about 15 keys. You usually carry two for the car, some for the house, one for a storage room, a couple for the office, and maybe a friends house as well. Without knowing it you probably have to deal with locks several times a day. What happens then when you lose some of those keys. Very smart people keep copies but otherwise you will have to call a Locksmith to come and help.
Locksmiths deal with locks and keys everyday and all day long. They are lock experts!
What are some of the Main Issues that a Locksmith has to Deal With?
It is important to understand that every person that has lived there before you, probably has a set of those keys. And people that didn't live there probably have them too. For example, anyone that worked in the house or apartment for any period of time may have a key. This may include babysitters, painters, plumbers, housekeepers, dog walkers, etc. Anyone of these people could enter your apartment or house and take everything you have unless you call a Locksmith. It just takes one crooked person to enter your house when you are not there and take everything you have, and that sure is a lot more than what you would pay a locksmith in.
Mobile Locksmiths Can Fix Broken and Bent Keys
A locksmith service offers expertise on locks and provides an essential service to anyone wanting to secure their premises or valuables. They are particularly useful if you lose a key or if a door lock breaks. Locksmiths have the tools, techniques and the knowledge to open doors when you may have locked yourself out or misplaced your keys.
A locksmith can create keys and other opening devices at very short notice and quickly. A professional locksmith is likely to be very important to you when you least expect or when it's urgent as well as at times that are not urgent.
You will need to know where to look and how to find out if a particular locksmith is reputable and honest. Here are some tips to bear in mind to minimize the stress when you need a locksmith.
1. You should always have a spare set of keys for every lockable door you have. And even if you lose a set not only will you have the spare set you will have a key from which a new spare set can be made
2. You can give an extra set of keys to another member of your family or a close friend. Getting in touch with them will be easier and cheaper than them will be a lot cheaper and easier than contacting a locksmith. If you have no choice but to call locksmith services then you will need one that is local. But be careful: some locksmiths are not really local nor are they appropriately qualified.
3. There are several places you can look for a locksmith service - the local paper, yellow pages, etc., dedicated online service sites, especially if you have access to the internet on your mobile phone and you can access this if you're locked out. But it's also useful if the situation is not an emergency and you just need a new lock for a broken door. You can search, find someone and manage the process online.
4. Before you hire a locksmith to help you make sure you ask for an estimate of all the work that needs to be done and if necessary the replacement parts before the locksmith begins the work. Also, inquire about any additional fees before you agree to have the locksmith start. This is important since some locksmiths might charge extra for attending the job out of hours or for emergency response. Also don't forget to ask if there is a mileage charge or minimum call out charge.
5. Be sure to ask the locksmith service you choose if they are insured because if any of your property is damaged while the locksmith is repairing the lock or their poor workmanship makes you home insurance is null and voided then at least you are covered.

Third Party Covert Social Buzz Review
Covert Social Buzz Overview
In order to generate more traffic, one has to create ads that will invite people to click on them that will in turn allow you to gain commissions and even sales. Of course, many have already been able to use those banner ads that have become very common as most website and blogs already have those.
Initially, those who have been using these for quite some time think that this is the most effective strategy. At this time though, most of those who visit and view those blogs have the tendency to just ignore those banners because they are now aware that those are just ads.
Plugin for Social Sharing
Having good blog content isn't a guarantee that you're gaining more social traffic. If you're one of those who are currently thinking about increasing the social traffic with your blog posts, then it's possible that you haven't heard of the Covert Social Buzz yet.
This is a new plugin that basically improves and increases traffic with social sharing.
Social sharing is one of the bases for determining the rank of your blog for search engine results. However, you can have a better chance at gaining traffic through social network websites such as Twitter and Facebook aside from the ranking a blog could place from search engine results.
This is because the use of social sites has greatly increased nowadays. Social network site users could range from different age groups, and different people from various levels of society. One can definitely target a bigger audience through social sites with the use of the Covert Social Buzz.
Recapitulation Of Covert Social Buzz Review
Adding social sharing buttons has become popular these days.
Through this, people could easily share blogs and articles by clicking the social sharing button that represents that social site of their choice.
Initially, these social sharing buttons gained the attention of many blog readers that most of them have also decided to make use of, thus inviting them to click. Since then, almost all of the blogs have been created with those buttons that most people tend to ignore them.
Now that the problem has been identified, you can proceed with thinking about the solution, the Covert Social Buzz. Now you can focus on making some changes to draw more attention to those social sharing icons so that many could start making use of them again.
Aside from that, you can also try to make sure that the blog content would appear to have been shared by many people. With this, many could join the trend and start sharing the blog content as well. These two birds can be targeted and hit with just one stone, the Covert Social Buzz.
The plugin will allow you to improve the appearance of those social media buttons on your blog so that people could easily notice them.
This plugin will also allow you to create a specific number of shares, in order to inform your readers that many have also decided to share the content on various social network sites.
One can even set the random numbers he prefers with the Covert Social Buzz plugin. This has already been tested and the results have really showed that this method is very effective.

New Lamination Colony has been born. It is screaming and pissing in the world right now.
This issue features fine fine work by Ian Davisson, I. Fontana, Johannes Goransson, Ken Baumann, Matthew Savoca, Chris Killen, Heather Anne Mullins, and more. I've read some of the issue already. Ian Davisson's "Achy Muscles" is killer. And Ryan Downey's "This is a Song about Google, Not Nikolai Gogol" is excellent.
I have a thing, along with Derek White, Heather Anne Mullins, Gene Morgan, Bradley Sands, and Go-Go Rasputin in the special feature entitled DICK PALACE, which is composed of six installments where Blake Butler ravaged and resurrected six pieces of writing submitted for just this act. It's a collaboration/willful transgression sort of engagement where Blake called for writing to be submitted with the writer fully knowing their words were subject to total rewriting/revision/editing/amputation/transplant by the editor.
And there is also a cd available for download with this issue, the LAMINATION COLONY AUDIO SUPPOSITORY. If you can't find something that makes you touch yourself mentally in this and every other issue of LC, then you should just quit reading all together. I'm just saying.
I'm proud to be part of another issue of Lamination Colony. Once again, Blake has done a great job putting together an issue the likes of which cannot be found anywhere else in the literary world. Good work everyone.

10 Tips from Graphic Designers on How to Properly Wrap Your Company Vehicles
We've talked vehicle wraps before (we even posted a blog about our fleet of Strategic Factory billboards on wheels), but this post is going to look at what is needed BEFORE the physical wrapping takes place.
Unless you're in the industry, you probably don't have a clue about what looks good and what fails miserably when it comes to vinyl vehicle wraps. Here are 10 tips straight from our experts to make sure your vehicle drops jaws as it sits in traffic, is parked on the side of the road or drives by a new client.

backpropagation, generalization, learning rate, training speed
In gradient descent learning algorithms such as error backpropagation, the learning rate parameter can have a significant effect on generalization accuracy. In particular, decreasing the learning rate below that which yields the fastest convergence can significantly improve generalization accuracy, especially on large, complex problems. The learning rate also directly affects training speed, but not necessarily in the way that many people expect. Many neural network practitioners currently attempt to use the largest learning rate that still allows for convergence, in order to improve training speed. However, a learning rate that is too large can be as slow as a learning rate that is too small, and a learning rate that is too large or too small can require orders of magnitude more training time than one that is in an appropriate range. This paper illustrates how the learning rate affects training speed and generalization accuracy, and thus gives guidelines on how to efficiently select a learning rate that maximizes generalization accuracy.

The Centre d'Études Supérieures de la Renaissance (Centre for Advanced Studies in the Renaissance) is a teaching and research institution which welcomes students and researchers seeking initial or supplementary instruction in all aspects of the Renaissance. It enjoys a double status:
- as a teaching and research unit (Unité de Formation et de Recherche) of the University François Rabelais, Tours
- as a combined unit ("unité mixte") of the French national research council (CNRS) and of the University
The Centre was initially constituted in 1956 on the basis of a library and a documentary archive, supplemented by a collection of photographs and databases. It is also a venue for multi-disciplinary instruction, which, in association with the various Faculties of the University, has responsibility for the following programmes:
A specific designation "Renaissance" within the Master "Arts, Lettres, Langues et Civilisations"; this diploma is further distinguished by the research specialisation: "Genèse de l'Europe moderne"
A professionally oriented specialty, "Patrimoine écrit: histoire et pratique de l'édition [The Written Heritage: History and Practice of Publication]"
A doctorat in the disciplines represented (History, History of Art, Literature, Languages, Musicology, and Philosophy).
Finally, the CESR is a research centre bringing together fifty or so researchers--members of the University and of the CNRS--committed to the investigation of the "civilization of the Renaissance" from Petrarch to Descartes. Conferences, Round Tables, and Study Days are regularly organized.

In spite of his decidedly Anglo-sounding name, Bill Richardson, speaking in Spanish and English, made a big deal out of his Hispanic roots in announcing his presidential bid in Los Angeles today. And thanks to a decision by his father — an American born overseas — there is no question about Mr. Richardson's ability to run for president.
The candidate Mr. Richardson is more formally known as William Blaine Richardson 3d, the grandson on a Boston-born naturalist who had moved his family to Nicaragua in the late 1890s to do research for the Smithsonian Institution. His own father, William B. Richardson Jr., was actually born on a boat heading to Nicaragua and, according to an interview with Mr. Richardson in the Washington Post, always had a complex about not being born in America.
When Mr. Richardson's father became a banker in Mexico City and married his Mexican secretary, he did not want his son to suffer the same fate.
So, in November 1947, when his mother, Maria Luisa Lopez-Collada Marquez, was pregnant with him, Mr. Richardson's father sent her on a train to Pasadena where she gave birth before turning around and heading back to Mexico City, where Mr. Richardson was raised before being sent to boarding school in Massachusetts at age 13.
While Mr. Richardson has written extensively about his rough adjustment to America as a youth, today he celebrates his heritage. During his announcement today, he plunged into the immigration issue – which some other candidates have only delicately addressed – saying that "no fence ever built has stopped history."
"We're a nation of immigrants and we should not forget that," said Mr. Richardson. He added that the current immigration measure now before Congress is a "step in the right direction" but criticized provisions that would require illegal immigrants to re-visit their home countries as a condition of gaining American citizenship.
In fact, one of Mr. Richardson's challenges is to make sure that Hispanic voters know of his heritage, especially given his non-Hispanic name, while not turning off voters who may have qualms about someone who almost missed out on being native born.

We announced on facebook this week that Lindsey is pregnant, and it was hard.
Despite the statistics which overwhelmingly suggest that a pregnancy this far along will most likely result in a healthy baby, after two miscarriages, it is difficult not to feel foolish about getting excited and sharing our joy with others.
Perhaps it is the inherent sense of disconnected connectivity facebook produces. After the first pregnancy, though we scrubbed facebook of notifications, we still got some delayed messages several months post-miscarriage inquiring about the status of the pregnancy. We never announced the miscarriage on facebook, as it seemed an oddly intimate thing to post between peoples' complaints about the government and pictures of their breakfast foods. Still, many caught on and expressed their sympathies, and a few even brought food.
We were wiser and didn't announce the second pregnancy online, but that was only marginally better. Sure, we avoided the awkward and painful questions, but we also lacked the outpouring of support followed the first miscarriage. Lindsey's aunt graciously and swiftly came down and cared for us, but other than that, it was a lonely and private grieving.
I think, however, it was neither the uncomfortable publicity of the first nor the isolating loneliness of the second that made this announcement difficult. Rather, it was the vulnerability of believing that we will meet this baby this side of heaven. It is exactly like believing in love after heartbreak. Part of you feels an extreme fool for risking heartache, having been once (or more) bitten and twice shy, but another part of you dreads even the idea of an existence so numb and guardedly self-preserving that even joy must be hidden from view.
I believed wrongly that only sharing bad news was difficult until I was reminded twice in the past year that even our blessings are only held tenderly and by a string. There are many who have endured much worse than I, and so I don't claim to be a martyr. Rather, I hope that they find solidarity in someone willing to admit that shadows and silver linings are sometimes uncomfortably close to each other.
Having been a pastor for some time now, it is no surprise to me that people turn to faith in matters of life and death. Those moments crystallize reality, helping us realize that it is unlikely we are alone in this universe. They also show us that death is unnatural, a predator to be resisted at all costs. When there is a story as powerful as the gospel of the Bible, people are irresistibly drawn to the hope that God has found a way for us to conquer death.
It is because of that hope that we shudder to conceive of an life so secure that it lacks both joy and pain. So it is with a vulnerable yet defiant joy that I announce to you: we're having a baby!

I have since made it a goal. Every return trip to my home state Kelantan, I will visit at least 1 relative whom I have not met for a long time. I chose not to be too specific about the "long time" though.
First visit was promised while I was still in KL, before doing the cycling trip back to KB. I promised this Pok Sepupu (Father Cousin...aiya) that I will cycle to his house. He probably thought it was a joke! His name : Abdullah or better known as PAK LAH! Of course, we called him Pok Loh.
PL has been a favorite "Father Cousin" since I was a kid. He was a carpenter, house builder, motor mechanic, barber, and self-defense exponent in his younger days. He with several other relatives built our house back in the 1960s.
His passion now is fishing. Give him a fishing rod and all his worries are over. When the fish bites and the rod trembles, he will not part with the rod, not even for cash. That ecstacy he must relished, never mind if the fish is ikan buntal. That's his love, now that his wife has passed away several years ago. With his blocked heart, he will not be able to stand a new wife! So he goes fishing.
He was scheduled for an angio-plasty until GH told him he had to fork out RM15,000. So he politely told the government he'll wait for his time to see the maker.
So, as promised, on my second day of arrival (31st Mar 07) to KB, we (my brother Rahimi, his wife Sufia and I) made the trip to the PM's residence. After a ravishing Nasi Kerabu at Warong Siti Aishah, we cycled the 15kms to Kg Beris Kubor Gajah. No one appeared to be home. We sat ourselves at the benches under the shady pokok ketapang and I called PL on his mobile. He answered coyly and he was in the house. We "invited" him to join us under the Ketapang tree.
He narrated many funny stories. He recalled staying over in my TTDI house eons ago. He went out to buy cigarettes at the shop, remembering the number of right and left turns to the shop and back. He got lost and couldn't locate my house, as all houses were similar. He didn't realise he was actually at my gate until my maid asked him why he was standing outside the gate. Embarrassed, he said he was just taking some fresh air!
When I was a Branch Manager of a bank in Tg Karang in the late 70s, he spent a few days with me. He became a local celebrity because of his relationship with the Bank Manager! And that Bank Manager was not aware.
We had a great time relishing our youths. We stayed in excess of an hour before we bade goodbye. One goal accomplished.
